New Delhi. The Indian cricket team proudly made it to the semi-finals of the ICC ODI World Cup by winning 7 consecutive matches. In the match played on Thursday 2 November, India defeated Sri Lanka in a one-sided manner. Mohammed Shami is the same bowler who was kept out of Team India from the first 4 matches of the World Cup (World Cup 2023). But as soon as he came, he started winning matches for Team India. Shami took 5 wickets against Sri Lanka. After the match, he told the secret of his excellent performance.
While talking in the post match presentation, Mohammed Shami said, “Yes, I am trying to bowl the ball at the right place. Trying to catch the right rhythm. Because if you lose your form in big tournaments then it becomes very difficult for you to make a comeback. My focus is to bowl at the right length. To tell you the truth, it is also working.”
Shami further said, “My performance… it is not rocket science. It’s just a matter of rhythm. The most important thing for us is that you get people’s love. We get a lot of love from fans in India. Even when you go out of India, the fans support us a lot. I try to keep everyone happy.”
Mohammed Shami has played only 3 matches in the World Cup so far. He has taken 14 wickets in just 3 matches. Shami also bowled brilliantly against New Zealand and England. Rohit Sharma did not give Shami a chance in the first 4 matches. In his place, captain Rohit Sharma kept trying Shardul Thakur in the playing eleven because he can bat along with swing.
